Learn your acronyms. It is an MMO as MMO means "Massively Multiplayer Online" Where it's lacking is the RPG part, RPG meaning "Role Playing Game". I'm sure we all know FPS means "First Person Shooter", vehicles being the TPS (Third Person Shooter) exception. So Dust 514 is currently a MMOFPS with RPG elements meaning "Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter with Role Playing Game elements".

This game is not an MMO by any means. Unless you think CoD and BF3 are MMOs lol. You obviously don't know what your talking about.

But please reply and tell me how this is an MMO. I would LOVE to hear that.

Dust is different from CoD type FPSs. Dust has a player base that's playing the same game together, on dedicated servers, set up and maintained by the game developer, that provides a persistent digital environment to said players. Unlike other CoD like games where any given match is hosted on one of the player's consoles. So, Dust is an MMO.

The SP progression system is a standard RPG element, so is the persistent universe. So Dust has RPG elements.

And finally Dust is a FPS, TPS for vehicles.

So simple even you should understand it.

That does not make it an MMO. Trust me I'm almost done with college to become a game designer.

So you feel that though I've been constantly participating in, gaining practical experience in, and beta testing, MMOs since 1999, I'm ignorant. Your own arrogance laced ignorance astounds. You should know your target before attempting to offend and insult. If I were to assume based on your statements, I would guess you were between 10 and 14 when I started my foray into MMOs. But to assume would be folley as you could have started earning your degree in your late 30s which might put you at around the same age as myself. Now that isn't to say that age makes a difference, but I do have a good 16 years of comprehensive adult experience behind me.

Here. Maybe this will help.

A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMO and MMOG) is a multi-player video game which supports large numbers of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played over the Internet. Many games have at least one persistent world.

MMOGs can enable players to cooperate and compete with each other on a large scale, and sometimes to interact meaningfully with people around the world. They include a variety of game play types, representing many video game genres.

This describes Dust.

After thought: After a little research, I've reached a conclusion that CoD type games are MMOs in the barest sense as they use the internet to connect players to each other. In my mind they're still not true MMOs as they lack dedicated developer maintained servers and a "persistent world".

Also, aurum only lets you get things sooner that you can already get with SP and ISK. Know the game. This game is as much a MMO as the newer Call of Duty games. Yes, I know what a MMO is, used to be a hardcore MMO gamer and this game have very few MMO elements in it Mary. When they talked about the game, before it came out, it sounded like an MMO, but to be fair, this is just a normal shooter which reminds me ABIT of battlefield heroes mechanisms. There you could advance and get better gear too and do abit better, didnt make it an MMO. This standard shooter atm.

Just the simplest thing like interacting or questing with NPC's in open space area'd are not present in Dust(yes drones, but we heard about them for a year or two, if not more now). Instead of telling him off Shijima, go google Battlefield Heroes and compare that mechanisms of that game to how dust is. By all means, reading your 3-4 posts, your conclusions about an MMO describes most of the mechanisms of Battlefield Heroes and that game is not a f'kin MMO.
